Arcadis Heat Illness Prevention Plan (HIPP) <br />HASP Supplement <br />https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/heatstress/heatapp.html <br />2. Before work starts for the day or shift, the SSO will review the forecasted temperature and <br />humidity for the (exterior) work site and compare conditions against the National Weather Service <br />Heat Index (below) to evaluate the risk level for heat illness. Determination will be made of whether <br />or not workers will be exposed to a combination of temperature and humidity characterized as <br />"Caution", “Extreme Caution”, "Danger" or “Extreme Danger” for heat illnesses. <br />NOTE: It is important to know the temperature at which these warnings occur. When working <br />outdoors see the Heat Index Table in this supplement for Action Level specific instructions for <br />hazard controls. <br />3. Where state regulations indicate a thermometer or similar on-site monitoring device will be used <br />at the job site to monitor for sudden increases in temperature. The SSO will be responsible for <br />obtaining a thermometer/weather station prior to the start of work and make it readily visible / <br />accessible where it can easily be monitored throughout the course of the day. <br />NOTE: If the temperature is > 80°F (26 C) shade structures will be opened and made available <br />to workers. If temperature is > 95° F (35 C) additional preventive measures will be implemented. <br />Other: <br />Monitoring of Weather and Heat Index Table <br />1. The SSO or designee must check the extended weather forecast in advance of the upcoming <br />work on a weekly basis. Work schedules will be adjusted in advance, taking into consideration <br />whether high temperatures or a heat wave is expected. <br />Accepted weather forecasting resources include webpages "NOAA.gov" or "weather.com" or see the <br />NIOSH Heat Tool (formerly the OSHA Heat Tool app) <br />Alternative Cooling Measures Implemented: <br />X <br />Provide vehicles with working air conditioner to all employees for rest breaks / <br />recovery breaks / meal breaks. <br />Provide temporary or mobile shade structure(s) that are either ventilated or <br />open to air movement (Secure against wind.) <br />Provide a building / permanent structure(s) in close proximity to the work area <br />with a cooling environment via mechanical ventilation or open to air movement <br />which will be used for shade. (Job trailer, pavilion, manufacturing building, etc.) <br />Access to Shade Continued <br />5. In situations where it is not safe or feasible to provide shade, the SSO will document in the HASP <br />Supplement the unsafe or unfeasible conditions, and include the steps taken to provide alternative <br />cooling measures equivalent to shade. <br />Unsafe/unfeasible conditions: <br />walk away (e.g. 2-3 minutes) from the work area. This consideration becomes more critical as the <br />temperature rises above 80° F (26 C). <br />Rev 8 13 June 2019
